8.9 (updated 8.7) QUAKE off the coast of Sumatra! Oh my......

I'm not a seismologist...but my understanding is that the after-shocks we are seeing are very normal. Especially considering there were TWO 8+ mag
quakes there. The aftershocks are still plenty up in Japan more than a year later. We should expect to see large mag aftershocks for several
weeks....and smaller ones for up to a year or two!!

As to what is happening on the sea-floor. Well, that is a really good question. One that I think just about everyone is asking right now since up
until yesterday no one believed a strike-slip fault could even produce a quake of that size, let alone two of them. I don't think anyone understands
the mechanism at work there right now and THAT makes me nervous.

These quakes are man made.

The only idiocy involved, is treating other peoples ideas this way.

It has been a well known fact, since the discovery of the nuclear bomb, that such devices can have a seismic phenomena as a bi-product. Since this,
it has been theorized, and some say it's already in the, as people knew it was not the "bang" but the resonance in the earth that made the side
effect. So has spun, many theories about such device, already being in the makings ... with HAARP and Tesla's inventions, fueling this.

It is a very well known fact, that many cracks in the earth are held together, by resistance. It is also a very well known fact, that a resonance,
can break this resistance.

Wether that is that case here, however, is another story ... we are living on a plasma ball, with enormous destructive power. It doesn't need our
hand, to cause any damage.

I suspect that we're going to see a lot of quake activity over the next little while......

I am editing this so as to quantify the above statement...

IF the Geologists are correct in that there was ground movement of 70 feet, then I would expect that a shift of this magnitude would affect fault line
pressure along the borders of surrounding faults. I am not saying there are going to be large magnitude quakes, just some adjusting.....

With what intent?...why create an earthquake of this magnitude in a country with almost no importance to any super power?....some fools here in Chile
rencently have started associating quakes to HAARP...pure ignorance IMO..when this is the cause of most earthquakes in the world.

Heads up, this link is to a 14.8mb PDF. If you have a slow connection, I would not click it.

I forgot to mention. The scientists think it is possible that one of the quakes may have been left-lateral, striking NNE, while the other could have
been right-lateral, striking WNW. Or both the M 8.6 & M8.2 ruptured in the same direction. There is just no definitive answer as of yet.

(Reuters) - The powerful undersea earthquake off the Indonesian island of Sumatra this week was a once in 2,000 years event, and although it
resulted in only a few deaths, it increases the risks of a killer quake in the region, a leading seismologist said.

I just want to clarify my earlier post about manmade quakes. I was referring to mega quakes. I am a firm believer in the deep injection wells used
in fracking causing smaller, local quakes. USGS has pretty much confirmed this.
